I had the 10m X Air for my first depower kite and loved it. The only reason I sold it was I lost my landboard flying sites and the water was my last option. As Wenglish said, very stable, low end grunt, nice pop and float. Turns very fast and the safety systems are very simple, effective, and easily re rigged. Quality and workmanship are outstanding. This is a kite you can learn and grow with.
